"I have known Steve Backlund for several decades. His outlook on life is truly contagious. A man possessed by hope and faith, he serves the people of God once again with another great book (Higher Perspectives). A renewed mind is one of the most vital aspects of the Christian walk. Our awareness of how God thinks and views life determines our effectiveness in this world. Dissecting examples throughout Scripture, Steve Backlund and his team challenge readers to recognize the lies that they may be believing and exchange them for the Higher Perspective of how God sees."

Bill Johnson

"Few people know how to put circumstances under their feet like Steve Backlund and his teams. I am excited for anyone who reads this book (Higher Perspectives) or any others by this author. I love how much hope fills the lives of the readers and listeners of Steve’s ministry."

Danny Silk

"Steve Backlund is the epitome of living out what he speaks and writes about. I am personally impacted by his continual humility, encouragement, and empowerment of those around him and his lifestyle pursuit of walking with God. I honestly believe he is one of the great examples of someone who could say, "if you have seen me, you have seen the Father"."

Andy Mason

"Steve is one of the most intentional leaders that I’ve known. He put a hunger in me to be a leader and put the desire in me to always grow. As associate pastor at Bethel, I still constantly pull from my short two year season under Steve in Weaverville and bring that knowledge into the now. I couldn’t be doing what I am doing today without Steve’s leadership in my life."

Jesse Cupp

"Steve and Wendy are seasoned pastors who inspire hope and reach congregations with helpful tools in how their churches can experience the core values of belief, love, and joy into the lives of churches all across the world. Come and learn from those who understand that your challenges become opportunities in every area of life!"

Theresa Dedmon

"I’ve had the honor of observing Steve Backlund’s journey from glory to glory for more than a decade. I know him as a man of integrity who builds leaders and transforms communities. Steve has a unique ability to manage personal disciplines with boundless delight."
